TheStar Warsfranchise has a fan following of its own. With millions of people loving it for its unique storyline and characters, one of the most loved characters in the series is the anti-hero, Boba Fett.
However, behind the scenes of this stunningStar Warsuniverse lies a tale of unfulfilled potential and missed opportunities. Before theStar Warsseries inadvertently ruined the notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett’s image, James Mangold, the director ofLogan,yearned to resurrect the character’s formidable legacy through a thrilling standalone movie.

In theStar Warsfranchise, Boba Fett has been projected as an anti-hero. It has been played byTemuera Morrison, who has given his face along with his voice to the beloved character for several years.
That was until it was shown in the 1983 movie,Return of the Jediwhen Boba Fett was seen falling into the lethal Sarlacc pit. This happened when a semi-blinded Han Solo inadvertently hit Fett with a stick in the movie, making his jetpack break down, and leading him to fall into the mouth of the ginormous sand monster, the Sarlacc. Since the sarlacc’s stomach is filled with acid, the fans had assumed Boba Fett to be dead.
However, in the spin-off series fromThe Book of Boba Fett,The Mandalorianseason 1 and 2, the iconic bounty hunter is said to have miraculously survived, having drawn oxygen from a stormtrooper’s helmet, and then blazing out with his wrist-mounted flamethrower.
Moreover, as confirmed by the actor himself, Temuera Morrison was never called for reprising his Boba Fett role inThe Mandalorianseason 3by Lucasfilm.
“I was supposed to be in The Mandalorian season 3 but nobody rang me. I was waiting for the phone call in New Zealand, waiting and wanting to give up.”
So we can assume that there will be no Boba Fett in season 3 of the series streaming on Disney+. However, reports are claiming that Temuera Morrison’s Boba Fett will come back up in a bigger and better way. While these are still unconfirmed, fans are holding on and hoping for the best.

MCU’sLoganDirector’s Ambition for a Boba Fett Movie
Long before theStar Warsseries humiliated this iconic character, the MCU superhitLogan‘s director,James Mangoldhad the burning desire to create a movie that dived into Boba Fett’s mysterious past, his extraordinary skills, and ultimately redefined his place within theStar Warssaga.
Mangold, being as obsessed as he was with the iconicStar Warscharacter did reportedly draw out a storyline as to how the movie would come about. Later on, his ideas were transformed into the Disney+ seriesThe Book of Boba Fett. As the details of Mongold’s project were not revealed, it is hard to say how much of his ideas have survived.
While we do not know whether Boba Fett would return or not, it would certainly be interesting to delve deeper into the Mysterious Mandalorian’s glorious past.
You can stream The Book of Boba Fetton Disney+.
